☺Jeff refereed to __Writing with Power__ by Peter Elbow. He handed out a copy of Chapter 21 that has good criterion and reader questions to use. ☺Joe presented writing prompt: "Teaching is a matter of lighting fires, not filling buckets." How can you apply this to teaching? Melanie’s " I can’t write…" was excellent. (We don’t believe you! Your Great) Holly’s "crime can pay" was an excellent example of teaching Dennis wowed us with his philosophical view point. Judy pampered us with her creative piece. Raylin shared filling buckets with Algebra and the difficulties there in. Kayla lights "fires" everyday in Kindergarten Sherry’s 1st day of school was riveting. Joe finished with dialogue of lighting students’ fire before filling their buckets. ☺BREAK ☺Teacher Demo by Shelley Addis- A Hip Hip Hooray for Shelley as she stepped foot into uncharted grounds as the first "Student" Teacher Demo. She did a fabulous job with her power point of the Stages of Development followed by her intriguing focus activity, the purple egg that hatched a plethora of stories. She set the standard high for all that follow. Well done Shelley! ☺Judy brought resources: __Fables of Leonardo de Vinci,__ Vince Flynn’s __Memorial Day, and the Secret Supper__ by Javier Sierra and shared them with the class. ☺Mary presented Author’s Chair. She read a collection of her own work. ☺LUNCH ☺Jeff reviewed Position Paper requirements. 1 page in length over how you are going to incorporate more writing in your class. Wide range of audiences. ☺Committees Meet ☺Tonya reviewed Wikispaces and taught us how to add links. She then did her Teacher Demo: "Choose your own adventure" E-style. Shared two examples she previously did with students. Fellows then engaged into their own sorted adventures.
